After hoisting it onto the yacht with a strong pull, Lin Yang noticed that the fish was already near death, mainly because this type of fish has a particularly small opercular bone area, sparsely distributed gill filants, and thus a poor ability to exchange oxygen.
As soon as this fish was taken out of the water it would die, unlike belt fish, which can be brought aboard alive if you lift it slowly to let it adjust to the water pressure. This fish couldn’t survive.
Seeing the fish was on the verge of death as soon as it surfaced, Lin Yang didn’t pay it much attention. After all, he had planned to cook and eat it for lunch.
However, before cooking it, he decided to introduce this Ma You Fish to the viewers first.
"Many people probably don’t know how to distinguish between wild and fard fish, do they? Now I’ll teach you." After taking the Ma You Fish off the hook, Lin Yang looked towards the live stream audience and began the introduction.
"Although these thods aren’t applicable to all fish, they do apply to many. The first is to look at the body shape; among fish of the sa size, those that are slimr and longer are more likely to be wild. Second, look at the color; wild fish are usually brighter than fard fish.
The third and most important is to look at the fins. Wild fish need to swim continuously to search for food, so wild fish fins must be well developed. The standard for developed fins is that they must be long enough.
Because fard fish get food handed to them, they don’t need strong swimming abilities, so their fins tend to be shorter.
For fish like Ma You and Yellow croaker, the simplest way to determine if they’re wild is to fold their fin towards their eye. If the fin covers more than half of the eye, it’s very likely that the fish is wild.
Of course, there is one last thod, which is to cut open the fish’s belly. If there is a considerable amount of fat and black film, then it’s fard. If it’s clean inside, then it’s wild. But this thod isn’t very effective for Ma You Fish because of their strong digestive ability. Even if they’re fard, they rarely have fat, and this characteristic is also the basis of their fa. According to the famous Yanhuang Materia dica, this fish can be used dicinally to aid digestion and relieve food stagnation.
In other words, not only is this fish delicious, but it also helps with digestion..."
After introducing this type of fish to the viewers in the livestream, Lin Yang baited another shrimp and continued fishing.
But it was probably due to the scarcity of resources on this sandy beach, even after two or three hours, he didn’t catch many fish. Except for the four or five pound Ma You Fish, the others didn’t weigh more than a pound each.
Wang Feng and the others had long gone back to play Fight the Landlord.
But now it didn’t really matter to Lin Yang whether he fished or not. After all, there might be nothing else on the yacht, but there was plenty of food.
Just as he was about to reel in and go back, suddenly, he saw a burst of white spray far off on the sea surface, followed by a long, strip-shaped object speeding towards the direction of Lin Yang’s yacht.
At first glance, Lin Yang thought it was a torpedo, but there are no torpedoes in the vast sea. As the object drew closer, Lin Yang finally saw what it was.
"A sea wolf? No, that’s not right. Sea wolves aren’t this big. And sea wolves can’t swim this fast either."
Looking at the large, elongated shape in the water in the distance, Lin Yang couldn’t help muttering to himself with so confusion.
Wild sea wolves in the ocean are indeed not small; the biggest can grow to about 20 pounds. But that’s the limit for sea wolves.
